"The International Space Station is in crisis after hackers managed to penetrate what NASA admits are "significant" computer systems.

The three astronauts on board the Space Station reported last night that email was no longer working.

Hackers are thought to have planted a Trojan in the computer systems at Houston and used the infection to ride the satellite uplink to the Space Station.

The problem has been complicated by the on board computer systems, which are running older software, including legacy code such as Windows 3.1.

Microsoft has said that there is nothing it can do since the operating system is no longer supported with security fixes.

"I am sorry but there is nothing we can do. It is past its deadline," said Professor Brian Offin, Microsoft's head of obsolete operating systems.

"Windows 3.1 is a very old operating system and the technical support team has been entirely subsumed into the Vista troubleshooting team and trust me, they are needed there."

Professor Offin added that Microsoft is not blind to the plight of the astronauts and is searching personnel files for staff who worked on the code, but have since retired and may have time to deal with the problem.

There is no life threatening danger to the astronauts as yet, but the escape capsule that can carry them home has been warmed up and is ready to go, despite concerns that hackers might have reprogrammed that too.""

Why would someone want to hack into an International Space Station and try and put peoples lives at risk? What sort of people are there in this world? People want to attack space stations with viruses. The worst thing is that these people cannot be traced as they hack anonymously making sure they cover up everything. Hopefully the lowlife hackers have not managed to hack into the escape capsule that will take the astronauts home.

Hackers have gone one step to far here, it's not alright when they are messing up peoples computers but it's awful when they try and take peoples lives.

I'll leave you with a question: why do people enjoy hacking into and destroying other peoples computers?
